"The programs tbe center provides are very important to many people. It provides a sense of place and community for people who, absent the senior center, wouldn't have that sense. It's a very high-quality place: The nearly 4,000-mem- ber senior center has been collecting donations as part of a six-month fund- raising campaign that started in November.

Spared were Bloomingdale's, Neiman Marcus, the food court and s&nte smaller stores. 1Taffic lights also failed in son\e areas off Jamboree Road and around north Newport Beach, said Newport Beach Police Sgt. Steve Shulman. HThere were no traffic accidents or backups or problems related to these out- ages,• he said. "Mostly, it was just people calling to let us know what lights weren't working:· · 1\vo blackouts occurred ..in Costa Mesa, one between 4:45 and 5:45 p.m. on the cif:Y's east side arld the ot.tier from about 6 to 7 p.m. east of Bristol Street and Sunflower Avenue. Police reported no major inci- dents, except for a man stuck in his apart- ment elevator. The Newport Beach Fire and Marine Department responded to two calls in Fash- ion Island, where people were stuck in ele- vators, said Newport Beach Fire and Marine Capt. John Blauer. . "We--..just calmed them down and let · them know that the power would come back on in a short while,• he said. "We got by today without major ihcidents: It was some day for the 120,000 cus- tomers of Southern California Edison who were affected by the electricity service interruption. The warm weather increased Monday's energy demand by 1,200 megawatts, equivalent to the energy produced in one of the state's nuclear pow.er plant units, said James Detmer, vice president of operations for the California Independent System Operator. The city of Newport Beach did escape without its water or sewer systems being shut off, said Eldon Davidson, utilities director. "Most of our facilities are in good shape: he said.

We didn't know the lights were going to go out. Then, poof, they did .• Over at Priorities - a women's boutique -manager Nonna Bustos said she was not surprised by the blackout because Fashion Island management has been warning the businesses for the past few months that it could happen. "It was definitely a relief when the lights came back on, though." Bustos said. "We are lucky that we have a small boutique, so we were able to keep an eye on everyone while they were in the store." At April Cornell, no one happened to be in the women's and children's clothihg store at the time of the blackout, which manager Laura Zovich said was a small blessing. "We definitely lost business, though,• Zovich said. "We couldn't do anything except wait for the lights to come back on. It's better than it happening on a weekend though." Meanwhile, local businesses are going on conservation mode. fu Fashion Island, center officials said they had started early by cutting down on lighting and turning off fountains during nonbusiness hours to conserve en~rgy, said Jennifer Smith, a spokeswoman for the Irvine Co., which owns Fashion Island. She added that similar conservation pro- grams were also in place at other company ~hopping centers, such as Corona del Mar Plaza. · Faced with possible blackouts, other companies in Newport Beach said they introduced energy conservation measures Monday. While Conexant Systems Inc. -a chip maker with headquarters near John Wayne Airport -had not been hit by early after- noon, company officials said energy con- swnption had been reduced to a minimum. · Shutting down air conditioning, turning off overhead lighting in buildings and encouraging employees to use lower light- ing in offices were some of the ways in which the company was trying to avoid a blackout, said Lisa Briggs. a company spokeswoman. She added that the company had also shut down machines in the manufacturing area and had not begun producing some new products.

T hank you, Gay Geiser-Sandoval. Your education columns make a great deal or sense to us. We are fonner 'teachers and grandparents of two teenagers and two young adults. Your column ("Policy would not ~Ive school bully problem.• March 6) about the recent school shoobng tragedy hit the nail on the head regarding bullying by children. AU the other arodes that day never men- tioned that as a posS1bfe cause. Consider the corrunents quoted from dill· dren that day: ' • "One of the boys beats Williams.· • "We were just making fun of him. We were just mocking him.• • •Andrew Williams was considered a scraWT1y punk, a pint-sized 15-year-old ridiculed for his passivity. small size and pale skin." • "Kids stole shoes off his feet or stuff from his backpack and he never fought back. Twice his skateboard was snatched away.· •"You could take money out of his wallet, you could take the shirt off his back and throw 1t m the gutter, and he would just walk away.• • •He pounded him badly and punched him tn the face four times.· • And then there was the comment by a 12-yeM-old when Williams threatened that he was going to shoat lads at school : "You don't have the guts to do it." We agree with you, Geiser-Sandoval. Bul- lying is a big part of the problem. and so are those who stand by and watch it. VIRGINIA AND AU.EN DAVIS Newport Beach Hurrah for parents who insisted on zero tolerance for bullying and harassment et Corona deJ Mar High School. Their stance is one of tenacity, dignity and integrity. I'm sure the parents of students who were either killed or were the killer.s in other dis- t11cts wished they had insisted on such poli- cies. Those parents and administrators in Col· orado, in San Diego, will likely deal with the guilt from their passive responses to the dues and mdications of impending doom for the rest of their lives. Good for the parents who bang the gong foT the safety of thetr children and insist that there be absolutely no toler- ance tor anyone who even threatens physical violence. It is rare to see such courage and action in th.ts age of apathy and denial For a principal at a local high school to finally acknowledge •probobly• that harass- ment has a new significance is ludiaous.

CAROLI NE MCNABB Costa Mesa The pollcy needs to go fdf enough to ensure all students have a safe, nonthreaten- ing environment. Though she IS now m college. we had a horrid expenence when our dclughter was Ul sixth grade. The taunbng Crom one boy spread to several kids she thought had been friends, then lo most of her class. Kids were pressured to harass, taunt and tease her. The result was a girl who Wdnted to change schools. The harasser prorrused to engage the help of his fnends at the other schools to ensure her life remained rrtiserable. After several conversallons at the school. where we were told there WdS not much that could be done, I started calling parents. While some were receptive and took correct.JVe action, I discovered the true source of the problem when the part!nt or the tn.sbgator/worst offender (obvtously oblivious to her kid's obnoXJousness) called to tell me that she and her husband had chscussed the problem and thought perhaps my daughter needed counselmg. Was he Joking? They did nothing to stop their son because, after all, they can only control what he does in their presence. And he IS, after all, 1ust a kid, and boys will be boys. It is a testimony to the true churacter of our daughter that sh e swvived the expenence to become a truly beautiful (ins1de and out), con- fident and compassionate young woman . How many kids would havQ taken action into their own hands? rs tJus not the type of stress that has led to violence in schools? This problem extends beyond the school's reach and is often a parenting tssue. The par- ents need to be held accountable (or at the very least be inconvenienced). Perhaps a three-strikes pobcy, wtth the first course of action being a conference with the parent and student. would work7 Provide parents a chance to hPar lhe prob- lem and take thelt own ronective acbon before escalating punishment The school should then have the opbon ol detemuning lhe most appropriate pwushment options. 11\e third and final action should be uspen- sion or expulsion. We live fn a world where there must be laws to pl"OVlde consequences for harassment in the workplace.

But, with Wnqht pldying the architect to a balanced h.lttmg attack including junior Morgan CrcUg (mne kills), Petersen (seven), senior nuddle blocker Aaron Yamal (six), Berg-Hansen (six), junior Greg Perrine (three) and 6-7 freshm11n Jamie Diefenbach (three}, the Sailors broke open a 6-6 tie in the second game lo close out the equaJ.izer Ace serves by sophomore Nick Kelly and Perrine, as well as two kills apiece from Craig and Berg-Hansen , helped the Sailors score nine straight points and force the deciding game.

MThere's so much parity in Orange County, 1 redlly Uunk any one oC the eight teams who advanced from pool play could be here talking to (reporters),• Glenn said after the awards presentation. ~Fountain Valley won d good tournament last week in San Diego, where .we fin- ished sixth. We could have gone in the tank when we had some early passing problems, but the k.tds did a ruce job. "Once you get to rally scoring, it's any- one's game. ll's a crapshoot, which is one of the rea<;ons I'm not a big fan of rally scoring.
